    Spent this weekend doing a glorious amount of nothing. Got lots of sleep. Ate half a pint of peppermint bark Talenti gelato last night. I have another pint in eggnog flavor waiting for me in the freezer...

    We still don't have all the furniture we'll need for the baby and I am getting really anxious about it. Several family members have promised to send checks/gift cards to help, which I very much appreciate, but I hope they're not waiting for Christmas! My EDD is 12/31, so that's cutting it a LITTLE close. We may just go ahead and buy all of the stuff ourselves now, and if we get gifts later, well, great.

    Can't wait to start maternity leave...

    @bkmama‌ where does one buy such amazing sounding gelato?! I had plain jane dutch chocolate yesterday and now I just don't think I can go back to that after hearing about the peppermint bark!

    I was eating a bagel this morning in the car. DS was crying, and I asked if he wanted some, and he yelled, "No! I want Daddy!" Then like 20 minutes later, he asked for some of the bagel, but it was gone. Sorry, DS! Work is busy. I am going to be relieved when I finally have this baby, not that it will be a vacation, but I'll enjoy something different for six weeks. We have had the Christmas tree up and lights on it since the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but I haven't done ornaments yet. DH asked me about it last night, and I told him that it just seems like a lot of work, and then three or four weeks from now, it'll be a lot of work to take it all down, so maybe we can go simple this year and skip the ornaments. He was not on board.
    My DH was upset when I said that I was going to skip putting out the Christmas "linens" (i.e. bathroom handtowels, kitchen dishcloths) because we normally only use them for our party that we aren't having.  Not upset enough to actually put them out himself though.  (And I'm totally thinking of skipping the tree)

    I got them through a grocery delivery service called FreshDirect: 

    Not sure if they deliver outside of my area though :(

    I bought a box of 50 assorted munchkins this morning to thank my office for my baby shower on Friday, and got irrationally upset when I opened the box and saw they only put 2 different kinds in it.

    More randoms - I'm also having a growth scan tomorrow! DH is coming with me. We are very excited to be able to peek at her so close to her birthday.

    Also, I ran out of clean laundry this morning and had to get creative... Looking very "festive" today.

    I have about a month to go and am really starting to feel it! We just finished moving in to our new home which is great but the last three days have been draining. I am at work today and my boss is just being short with everyone. My tummy is so sensitive my shirt hurts to touch it.

    However despite all the bad things I found out I got 100% on my two finals I already took. Plus I only have two weeks left of work!

    Also is the a page that has talked about freezer meals yet? What are some easy dishes?

    I had a doctor appointment this morning and she again was shocked at how much my baby was moving. I keep telling her - this baby moves all.the.time. She did confirm that the baby has dropped and that's why I'm feeling so much pressure down low. Also she thinks the baby may be on the smaller side so I'm going to have a growth scan next week also. 

    I scheduled the rest of my doctors appointments - I go weekly from here on out. Crazy. Work is insane so even though my doctor told me I should try and slow down, I can't really - not this week at least. I'm hoping to be able to work once a week from home from now on though. We'll see!

    Also, it's freaking freezing here. The wind makes it so much worse.

    I don't know if it's today, but I've got an itch to pull out all the baby clothes and get them washed and hung up. Also, I've been wanting to wait until after all the Christmas gifts are bought to buy a dresser. .... But I may just have to go buy it this weekend and get it all set up.

    I had all my other boys at 39 weeks. ... which means I've got 6 weeks if I follow my record. 6 weeks! I've done nothing in preparation and I've been OK up until this very second.

    Also, I have 2 pies in the fridge. I'm gonna go have a morning snack.

    I very well may drive to Portland to get his coming home outfit today, because it's been bothering me that I still don't have that.

    @MrsFaFa2‌ White Christmas is my all time favorite Christmas movie. My sister(twin) and I always do that dance and sing along every Christmas Eve when we go see our parents. We are probably far to old to still be doing that but we have no shame. Lol

    @bkmama‌ I think one of our local grocery stores sells that brand of gelato. I'll be going to check on my way home.

    Had a dream last night that we had a little boy (we're having a girl) who had the same color eyes as DH, the prettiest blue. We were carrying this little boy around, showing him off to everyone. People were just "oohing and aahing" over how adorable he was! I woke up happy that we had a healthy baby, but now I have this irrational fear that our Dr has gotten the sex wrong all these months.

    @caitylady12‌ it is my favorite too. My sisters and I would sing it and do the dance. This year being almost 9 months prego at christmas I didn't really want to dress up but wanted to participate, so i figured this would be easy.

    I made an appointment tomorrow about my hip and back pain. I just want to get an Rx for PT, but they want to see me. I have to bring my 2yo because we have a Christmas party to get to. I'm really hoping the appointment doesn't take too long. I have my regular appt later in the week so I'm not sure if they are going to combine it all in one visit or not.

    I need to start planning my son's birthday party, but I just don't have any motivation. I feel bad because I don't want his birthday to get overlooked.

    Question: since there is a Non-stress test, is there a stressful version?

    There is, but not for pregnant women. It's to measure cardiac function and involves a lot of exercise :)

    My belly button is still an innie and I don't have that dark line that runs vertically on my stomach :D I make up for it in stretch marks.

    @nursesouder‌ the lack of movement must've been super stressful, but happy to hear baby looks perfect on the monitor. Sorry you had to deal with that.

    My belly button is still an innie, which looks awkward to me.
    As far as the dark line. ...I have a little, but my belly is covered in hair! I look like sasquatch!

    Fine hair and TONS of little stretch marks. It looks like an ugly piece of marble.

    My stomach has gotten hairier too! I thought about shaving it but that might make it worse.

    I've been shaving it. I've only had to shave it twice the whole pregnancy, it grows back pretty slow and I much prefer my belly without the extra hair.
